Why I do this work
Career Change & Return to Work Coach
I began my career in two of London’s leading advertising agencies, eventually reaching board level. On paper, it looked like success.
But as the pace intensified and my husband and I started a family, something shifted. I felt increasingly disconnected from who I was and what I wanted from my work.
Walking away wasn’t an option. Instead, I paused, sought support, and gave myself the space to think more intentionally about what came next.
That period became my own ‘second chapter.’
Today, my work feels aligned, sustainable, and meaningful and that experience shapes how I support my clients.
Who I work with
I partner with experienced professionals at pivotal moments in their careers.
Some feel successful on paper but know something isn’t quite right. Others are returning to work after time away and want to do so with clarity and confidence, rather than slipping back into old patterns.
The questions are often the same:
— What do I want now?
— What am I capable of?
— How do I make a change that feels meaningful and sustainable?
My role is to help you answer these with clarity and to move forward with confidence.
My Background
Before coaching, I spent nearly 20 years in advertising, including board-level leadership at AMV BBDO, working with brands such as Mars, PepsiCo, Diageo and Mercedes-Benz.
It was a high-performing, fast-paced environment that taught me how to lead, make complex decisions and support others to perform at their best. It also gave me a deep understanding of the pressures that come with sustained success and how easy it is to lose sight of your own direction.
